Big Tire Sale

When winter weather arrives, drivers have to make a big decision: snow tires or chains? This decision is even more difficult for drivers who will only be visiting a snowy area for a couple weeks, or who only see winter driving conditions when they head up to a ski hill on weekends. Most drivers realize that winter tires are the better choice, but hope to be able to sneak by with the cheaper chains, if they can.

Here's some information to help drivers with the snow tires vs. chains decision.

The Benefits of Snow Chains

The best thing snow chains have going for them is that they're cheap, especially compared to the cost of new snow tires. They're also designed to provide traction for all sorts of winter road conditions, including compact snow, ice, and slush. When a driver will be dealing with days or weeks of dry roads in between winter conditions, he/she won't have to worry about wearing down the tread of winter tires, either.

However, tire chains have drawbacks, too. They can be difficult to put on, especially the first few times or while in a blizzard with freezing temperatures. They can't be driven on dry roads, so if road conditions change, the driver must stop to take them off (and may need to put them back on again a few days or hours later).
